Engine

We test ran the engine friday evening and it turned out that block is not fixed yet.

Allthough it didn't leak much, there was still minor leaks and we dismantled the intake manifold for more welding. I tried to contact the guy who did the welding, but when we finally got a hold of him at saturday noon he wasn't interested in giving it another shot. Material was hard to weld and obviously it had been one of those days for him and we didn't push any further.
 
So, now we are contacting other welders in the area and hopefully someone can fix this block.
I didn't pay so much for this engine initially, but i've invested money to repair it and make it go anyway so i'd like to use it for some time still.
